I made a screen-dump how the windows look likes -- maybe it's GNUstep's native windows as you said. Look here: http://img109.imageshack.us/my.php?image=strangewindows4ia.png >Sounds like some problem with the drawing code. I was considering if it was some problem with path setup. I running the GNUstep Msys terminal (GNUstep\Development\msys\1.0\msys.bat , i.e rxtv.exe) that comes together with the Windows installer. Maybe this is offtopic, but is there a more friendly terminal available on MS Windows? Anyway, everytime I launch the GNUstep Msys I get a message: "Make cannot handle spaces in paths so the home directory 'C:\Document and Settings\GÖRAN' may cause problems!" This message most likely comes from GNUstep\System\Library\Makefiles\user_home.exe when rxvt.exe is launched because it prints out a similar message. An alternative way would be to use windows 8.3 filename format, but I have not found ways to activate this anywhere. Even the o-umlat (Ö) fails to be text-encoded properly and the enviroment creates folder-names like "C:\Document and Settings\GÍRAN", "C:\Document and Settings\GÃRAN" or "C:\Document and Settings\GRAN" but never "C:\Document and Settings\GÖRAN". >Even using native windows borders, GNUstep doesn't really look like >ms-windows (we need the Camaleon theme engine integrated into the gui >for that, and it's not yet done). My goal is to first see if I can build my project in GNUstep. But at least I know there will be some kind of window now. :-) Thanks for your help! /Frode _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
